I’m not signing up for showtime just yet, the talent list just isn’t the same, they had the mix just perfect and without Collinsworth (the best analyst alive) or Costas and King (the best insider), I don’t know that it will retain “keep until I delete” status on my TIVO. Time will tell.
With regards to the raiders, they already have head cases, they are violationg the “one head case player per team” rule and that rule only works with a strong coach (Moss-Belichic or T.O.-Parcells), I am still waiting for T.O. to melt down becuse Wade Phillips isn’t strong enough to control him. If you get more than one head case, they feed off each other and try to outdo each other, ie. 2007 Bengals. This rule applies to families and workplaces, more than one and things go to hell.
